Today, as in the last few days, we’ve chosen to take the main coastal route rather than the coastal litoral route to start the day. This put us much more up on the mountain, which is a lot more workBaca lagi

Pengembara Do you hike along to coast for a long time? Gorgeous! How are the crowds vs. the long route?
